IBD polls seem to favor Bush over any others. I simply asked your opinion as to why that is. I don't read OBD and never have, but you do so maybe you know. IBD doesn't seem to be a force in national politics. It's a fraction of the size of say the WSJ which teams up with real pollsters to get their polling done. I've also never seen any IBD polls listed in any mainstream media or network lists of polls. Never. Nor has any campaign bragged about an IBD poll. So did they just start or what? Also, how do they conduct their polls? On the internet polling their readership like Dick Morris's vote.com or are they out there in every precinct in the country doing the real hard work? Another reason to be suspicious of IBD is that Bush's tax cuts clearly favor the investment class and that's where IBD makes all its money. Therefore they can be seen as a special interest with a bias. if not, then it's just a coincidence their polls favor Bush more than any others. Tha latest Gallup poll has JK ahead by 5% which seems about right. Also to be noted which battleground states JK kleads Bush in, like Florida and Ohio. That's what's going to count. After all popular vote doesn't win the White Houwe, as Gore found out.
